Advent = Adventus (latin) = Parousia (greek) = Arrive/Come.

What does God being born into our world teach us about God?

How should we respond to his arrival?

Join us the next four Sundays as we look at The Arrival.

We are having a Christmas Party on December 12th, 7pm at Club Fitness.  What will we be doing?  Glad you asked.

1.  Christmas Movie (what will it be?  show up and see)

2.  Christmas Cookies/Hot Drinks

3.  Gift Exchange (if you want to participate bring an UNWRAPPED, GOOD gift that costs less than $5…no, it doesn’t have to be new.)

4.  A chance to hangout and talk.

5.  A Christmas Dance Contest (not really, just seeing if you were paying attention.)

6.  A contest for Most Festively Dressed Individual (not sure what that means?  here are some ideas)

Week 2 of:

In case you missed last week, here is what we said:

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Although God is good, although he care for us, and although he is in charge of everything,

he is NOT always in control.

Before you burn me at the stake, come this week to find out what that means!

(Then you can burn me at the stake.)

Paintball this Sunday at the Mingus’.

$10 for everything + pizza!

If you are interested, email Tim (tim@gracepointe.cc).

Anyone can play!  Guys, girls, young, old.

Interested in joining the church?

If so, come to our next GracePointe 101.

If you are interested, come talk to Tim or email him @ tim@gracepointe.cc

(Some of you are thinking, didn’t we just have one 2 weeks ago?  Yep.  But we have more people interested!  Good things are happening at GracePointe!)

Hey, do you want to get more involved at GracePointe?  If so, there is no better way than serving…after all, that is what Jesus Christ was/is about.  Therefore, that is what we should be about.  What can you do?  Here are a few opportunities we have:

1.  Greeter- welcome people to worship each week – talk to Ellen Barger if interested

2.  Nursery- love on our children – talk to Jo Nidiffer if interested

3.  Kids- help teach a small group or help with children’s worship- contact Jo Nidiffer

4.  Youth- join our Wed. evening activities – see Dana Murphy

5.  Worship Team- lead people in worship- talk to Tom Nidiffer

6.  Setup Worship- set up the worship space every other Sunday- ask Tim Doremus

7.  Adult Small Group- start a new group- seriously!  you can do it.- talk to Tim about it

Have another idea?  Share it with Tim and we will find a way for you to serve!

(You could also join an existing small group to get more involved.)
